Where do I use this Midjourney prompt?

Paste it into the imagine bar on midjourney.com or the /imagine command in Discord. If the prompt includes parameters like --ar or --sref, copy those too — they set the aspect ratio and style.

What do the --sref and --ar values mean?

--ar sets the aspect ratio (e.g. --ar 2:3), and --sref points at a saved style so any subject rendered with that code inherits the look. Keep them to reproduce this image's framing and style.

Midjourney is a paid subscription with no permanent free tier, used via Discord or the website. Copying and adapting this prompt is free.
